Omega seamaster 300 vintage bezel insert lost! Help!

[marrickvilleboy]

Have a standard cartel seamaster 300 vintage (not recent release of the remake) and lost the bezel insert. They are like a clearing insert wire black printed on from the underside.

Anyone know if we are able to source it somewhere?

Thanks

Maybe ask Angus or Toro?

Thanks whoopy.

Any chance you could PM me their emails? I have never purchased from either!

To OP, are you sure your insert was clear/painted plexi?

All the reps I have seen have had the wrong type insert made out of aluminum.

I don't think the original bakelite insert is available, or would fit the rep bezel if you found one.

You can get the aluminum insert from an ebay retailer.

Here is mine with a couple mods.

( I hope we are talking about the same type watch)

In any case, good luck in your search!

Yeah definitely the clear acrylic one with underside painted, I've taken it off to check the construction.

Thanks for the help though

Interesting,

I have not seen one with the plastic insert.

Please let me know if you come up with a plexi replacement source.

I would like to pick one up as well.

Regards.

I don't have their emails, but I'd suggest pm'ing Angus on Repgeek and Toro here on RWG

 

Good luck!

I went through my emails and found that I bought it from Silix.

 

The odd thing is that in their pictures, it is a aluminum style insert but I got the watch, it was the clear plexi type. Strange indeed.

 

I've inquired again, keep you posted to see if they can help me.

 

They may or may not have the plexi anymore.
